Pokemon GO players found out that they cannot retry failed Remote Raids because of recent changes. Pokemon GO is currently facing a new controversy due to decisions made by Niantic. These decisions have generated a wave of dissatisfaction among Pokemon GO players, who are expressing their frustration in many different ways.
Pokemon GO started Season 10 in March under the name Rising Heroes, bringing new features and Pokemon to capture. On the other hand, the new season also brought changes and problems. The hot topic within the community is the change in Pokemon GO's Remote Raids. As a result, it became more difficult for players to participate in Pokemon GO Raids remotely. Now a new chapter begins with another situation related to Pokemon GO's Remote Raids.
As the fight to reverse the changes to Pokemon GO's Remote Raids continues, Reddit user MygodStudio revealed that they were unable to invite a friend to a Remote Raid due to the new daily limit. The user reports that they joined a friend for a Lugia Remote Raid, and immediately after the first run, they invited their friend for a second attempt of the same Raid. The game then returned an error message saying that the player could not accept the invite because they had reached the daily limit. Currently, Pokemon GO players can participate in up to five Remote Raids daily.
The changes to Remote Raids in Pokemon GO were not restricted to stipulating a daily limit on participation. The game increased the price of the Remote Raid Pass and began to disallow participation in Elite Raids using Remote Raid Passes. This scenario made the Pokemon GO community start a crusade with negative reviews in the app stores and criticism on social media. Pokemon GO players made a petition to save the Remote Raids and even encouraged each other to uninstall the game. Part of the community went further, abandoning the game more radically by selling their Pokemon GO accounts on eBay.
Pokemon GO has experienced other controversies in the past. The most recent case, however, has reignited the debate on the difficult relationship between Niantic and Pokemon GO players. Regarding daily participation in Remote Raids, it is important to note that Niantic has only determined a limit, but has not specified whether failed attempts count toward it. It remains for players to wait and see how Niantic will handle these new problems, and what will become of Pokemon GO after the whole controversy.
Pokemon GO is available on Android and iOS.
